El Salvador is small
El Salvador is so small that it is sometimes referred to as the "40-minute country," because that is how long it would take to travel from the capital to all of the major attractions (without taking into account the traffic). Nonetheless, despite being the smallest country in Latin America, it has plenty of places to explore and stories to tell.
Central America's smallest country has been deemed a no-go destination for many travelers, having been ravaged by a civil war in the 1980s and plagued by gang violence in the decades since. However, significant tourism advancements, such as reducing crime, improving roads, and investing in new hotels and flight routes, have earned this tropical destination a second look.
You will have a fantastic time in El Salvador. Take the necessary precautions as you enjoy the pristine beaches, geological wonders, and cultural treasures. Because El Salvador is small and it has a great public transport network, it is easy to move around.
The country's climate is mild, with an average temperature of 28 degrees all year, making it ideal for a visit at any time. There are only two seasons, with great weather even during the rainy season, as most rain falls in the afternoon as thunderstorms, with the rest of the day sunny. The sunsets in El Salvador are breathtaking in all seasons!
